Australian Aboriginal art is the oldest living art tradition in the world, with paintings in rock shelters dating back over 20,000 years.
The art includes naturalistic paintings of human, plant and animal figures, as well as non-naturalistic, or "abstract" designs with concentric circles, "u" shapes, and lines.
